On the Use of Wavelet Packets in Ultra Wideband Pulse Shape Modulation Systems

This paper proposes wavelet packets for use in ultra wideband communications. The pulse shapes that are generated are quasi orthogonal and have almost identical time duration. After normalization, an M-ary signaling set can be constructed allowing higher data rate. Finally, the performance of such a system when multipath propagation occurs is investigated by computer simulations. In order to combat multipath fading, a Rake receiver using coherent channel estimation is designed. This channel estimation is carried out using adaptive algorithms such as least-mean square (LMS), normalized least-mean square (NLMS), or recursive least square (RLS) algorithms which adapt the received signal given a reference signal.
